    Fifth seed Alex de Minaur has booked his spot in the third round, beating Adrian Mannarino 6-3 6-2 6-2.

    The Australian is yet to drop a set across his opening two matches.

    De Minaur, a quarter-finalist in 2024, will face either Zachary Svajda or Kamil Majchrzak in his next outing.

    Virtanen is not happy with something and it is affecting him. He could be a break down early in set three.

    Arthur Fery heads to his racquet bag a couple of times to switch some things around and whatever he's done, it seems to have worked.

    He gets a break point but then mishits a forehand wildly out of the court and it's deuce.

    26th seed Madison Keys had to come from behind to reach the second round, losing a first-set tie-break against fellow American Kayla Day after wasting three set points before recovering to win 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-3.

    Wimbledon is the only major where the 31-year-old hasn't reached at least the semi-finals, with quarter-final appearances in 2015 and 2023 her best showings.

    Keys, the 2025 Australian Open champion, won the Eastbourne Open without dropping a set in the build up to Wimbledon - her fourth grass-court title - and has an 8-1 record on grass in 2026.

    I said earlier that the Princess of Wales is bound to have a jam-packed schedule today at the All England Club and it seems like she'll be in attendance for at least some of Katie Swan's match.

    Just as I was making my way on to Court One, I overheard a Wimbledon official letting some ticket holders know that she would be sat among them.

    "Please refrain from taking selfies, she wants to feel part of the crowd," she requested.

    From the brink of quitting to Wimbledon win - GB's Swan on redemption

    Fourteen months ago, Katie Swan was ranked 1,114th in the world.

    The 2015 Australian Open girls' singles finalist had seen her promising career derailed by back injuries and contemplated walking away from the game in 2024.

    However, after undergoing "excruciating" nerve treatment in early 2025, Swan has not only been able to stay on court but has also climbed back into the world's top 200, helped by winning six titles on the ITF women's circuit.

    Her round-one win over Irina-Camelia Begu - the first player she beat at Wimbledon eight years ago - represented a "full-circle moment".

    "I have exceeded my expectations in the last year so far, but as tennis players we're always looking for more regardless of how we do," Swan said.

    "I didn't want to retire from tennis with any regrets - and I feel like if I'd have stopped back then, that would've been the case. I'm glad that I kept going after moments like [Tuesday]."

    Otto Virtanen has been back in his chair for a while but no sign of Arthur Fery yet.

    Maybe he's got lost on his way back from the bathroom?

    Ah - here he is. We'll be back under way shortly.

    It's more than 10 minutes since the last point of the second-set tie-break was played.

    Britain's Katie Swan will be first up on Court One at 13:00 BST, taking on 26th seed Madison Keys in the second round.

    Swan beat Irina-Camelia Begu in straight sets on Tuesday to reach the second round at SW19 for the first time since 2018.

    Victory over American Keys would secure a maiden appearance in the third round at a major for the 27-year-old wildcard.

    A huge roar from both Arthur Fery and the Court 18 crowd as he gets that set over the line to move level with Otto Virtanen.

    He’s also timed that perfectly to make the short trek across to Court One to see Katie Swan’s entrance before she takes on Madison Keys.

    After the heatwave which hit at the start of the championships last year, and during much of the grass court season so far, it’s been quite refreshing to not have to worry about the weather over the first few days of Wimbledon 2026.

    The forecast suggests that could be about to change from the weekend onwards, when temperatures begin to creep back above 30C in London.

    For now, though, the conditions remains absolutely perfect for both watching and playing tennis in SW19.

    Plenty of fans have reserved their spots in the sun on Henman Hill before the action gets under way on the main show courts today - and who can blame them?!

    Fery 5-7 7-6 (7-3) 0-0 Virtanen*

    Arthur Fery is level!

    The Briton strings together four straight points from 3-3 in the tie-break to win the second set, and I'd wager we'll see that volley from Fery in our "shots of the day" video later.

    Oh my word, what a volley from Arthur Fery! Shot of the match. On the stretch, on the backhand, finds the line. Brilliant.

    Three set points for the Briton.

    Very well done by Arthur Fery!

    A perfectly played drop shot brings Otto Virtanen to the net and then Fery passes him with a forehand to take control of the tie-break once more.

    Two Fery serves to come.

    At the end of it, Arthur Fery will either be level at one set all or he'll be one set away from a second-round exit.

    Great Britain’s Davis Cup captain Leon Smith has been watching every minute of this match from the balcony that overlooks court 18.

    He hasn’t shown much emotion, but he gives a little clap as Arthur Fery holds.
